Advanced Diagnosis and Personalized Treatment for Stomach Cancer
Stomach cancers are diagnosed by endoscopy and biopsy. Staging is done by CT scans and staging laparoscopy. After accurate diagnosis and staging, personalized treatments are offered to patients by our best oncologists to ensure excellent outcomes. Most patients require multimodality treatment with surgery and chemotherapy.
With use of advanced and personalized treatment protocols together with high quality surgery and chemotherapy our experts have been able to provide high cure rates, maximum survival and good quality of life for patients
Surgery
Surgery for stomach cancer entails removal of a part or complete organ involved by tumor with removal of appropriate lymph nodes. This is known as distal/total gastrectomy with D2 Lymphadenectomy.
Minimally invasive (Key-hole surgery) - Robotic or laparoscopic surgery
Gastrectomy can be done by open or keyhole methods. In open surgery the incision is 10-12 centimeters long. In key-hole surgery the surgery is done with 5 small key holes either by robotic or laparoscopic methods. This offers immense benefits to patients by way of minimal scars, less blood loss, very less pain and rapid recovery with early discharge.
Chemotherapy and Immunotherapy.
Chemotherapy is given to all patients with locally advanced tumors. Immunotherapy or targeted therapy has shown very good results in suitable patients.
